Mechanisms involved in follistatin-induced hypertrophy and increased insulin action in skeletal muscle
2019-03-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Skeletal muscle wasting is often associated with insulin resistance. A major regulator of muscle mass is the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, including activin A, which causes atrophy. TGF-β superfamily ligands also negatively regulate insulin-sensitive proteins, but whether this pathway contributes to insulin action remains to be determined. <h4>Methods</h4> To elucidate if...
